Chapter 2149 The Eve of the Continental Tournament
On the last day that Minos was allowed to stay in the lake below the Tree of Life, he cultivated in the same place as before, using not only the special energy of the area but also that of the giant bones in the Spatial Kingdom.
At the end of his experience in that place, Minos had enough confidence to use all of himself simultaneously, thus achieving the best result in his cultivation in that area.
He had become much stronger there, possibly saving a year or two of cultivation in those two weeks or so.
Considering his short time before the aliens arrived, that was a great result! But today, Minos' short seclusion finally came to an end when the two level 99 Demigods who guarded the area entered to call him back.
However, before telling Minos it was time to leave, the two elves looked in shock at the small lake and saw that the place was 6 centimeters shallower than when Emperor Stuart entered it.
"That..." One looked at the other with concern, seeing they had lost much more than they had expected with Minos' entrance.
Minos' entrance could be compared to the entrance of three level 99 Demigods from this Elves Tribe!
They knew that the lake would eventually return to its average level, but with this result, they would be left with a weakened lake for centuries!
"What are we going to do? He sucked up our precious lake like it was nothing." One of the two said as he felt drops of sweat forming on his body.
"Sigh! He's really hard to analyze... But some evils come to good. Maybe we should look at this as an investment for the good of the Spiritual World." The other high elder commented, feeling that there was nothing they could do.
There was no going back and making this place the way it was two weeks ago. Besides, they couldn't punish Minos for something they had given him unlimited permission to do.
Besides, Minos was probably stronger now and closer to reaching level 92, something that was just as important for the world at the moment as the situation of this lake.
"Let's wake him up."
With that, the two of them emitted fractions of their auras, enough to show Minos that they were there, but without suddenly disturbing Emperor Stuart's meditation.
Sensing that two powerful elves were watching him, Minos easily got the message and gradually came out of his meditation state.
Opening his eyes, he smiled and thanked them again. "Elders, you don't know how much your tribe has helped me. Thank you again. It was really good for me."
"It must have been..." One said a little regretfully, although it hadn't been his choice to let Minos in.
Now, all they could do was accept reality and think that Minos would make good use of what he had won there.
The other elf said. "In any case, you should hurry and get back to your group. The Continental Tournament is about to begin. You only have a few hours for it."
"Oh?" Minos realized that the passage of time had been different for him and these people and noticed that his powers had developed more over time than he had imagined. 'That's perfect. My mastery of space and time has probably been greatly strengthened by this time of seclusion.'
"Very well, if that's the case, it's time for me to leave. Please convey my thanks to Her Excellency Aurae. I will return to my group now." He said to the two elves just before he saw their affirmative sign and finally left the area in the center of Elves Island.
The two elves stayed behind to watch Minos leave, curious to check the integrity of the area after this human's seclusion.
...
After a few minutes of flying around Elves Island at high speed, Minos spotted the city where his group was and soon headed for the exclusive building of the imperial family of the Black Plain Empire.
There, sensing the auras of his men and his family, he realized that Kendrick had finally reached the end of the 8th stage and was now at level 77!
Looking at his group, which had no other members who had become stronger than Kendrick, he talked a little about what he had been doing lately but also listened to what his group had been doing.
The last two weeks had been pretty quiet for the people in Minos' group, most of them just cultivating and having fun wandering around the city.
As the elf who had led them earlier had said, the city had become more crowded and diverse as the days went by, with the arrival of the groups participating in the event that was about to begin.
Of the current Gods of the Spiritual World, Henry and the Sky Whale were the only ones who hadn't come to this place; all the other groups had already docked on the island and were currently in this city where Minos was.
Among the high-ranking groups that had arrived on the island was Julian's group, who had already sent someone to wait for Minos and bring him to them when the young man had finished his business with the elves.
Upon hearing this, Minos quickly decided to meet the level 99 woman Julian had told him about.
Betting and matters related to the Continental Tournament could only be dealt with after the event began, so he didn't need to do anything the day before the long-awaited competition began.
So he didn't stay long with his family when he saw them again but went straight to the building where Julian's group was staying in the beautiful place where they were staying.
...
Arriving at where Julian and his group were staying, Minos met some old acquaintances from his faction with this man before finally coming face to face with this level 98 Demigod.
Julian stood next to the person he had talked to, Vicente, a woman with a beautiful appearance, attractive measurements, and hair as blue as the sky on a sunny day.
This woman had a solid level 99 cultivation, and the most striking thing about her was her icy and powerful aura, clearly focused on the Laws of Ice, which made her exceptionally powerful in this day and age.
"Minos, this is Callie Paull, the leader of the Divine Continent's Blue Flake Sect. She's an old acquaintance I had the pleasure of meeting in my youth." Julian said as he pointed to the woman smiling at Emperor Stuart.
Minos smiled back in greeting. "Lady Callie Paull, it is a pleasure to finally meet you. Julian has told me about you and our plans. What do you have to say? What is your opinion of the current situation in the world?"
